Syria has 2 opposing interpretations of Islam.
Iraq has 2 opposing views of Islam.
Every Arabic nation has 2 opposing opinions of Islam.

But the arrogance of a western person to claim they know more about the plight of Muslims than a Muslim is astounding.
Your post was excellent except being subjective bullshit.

We have a guy in this thread (Kraken) defending religious persecution by posting sectarian violence Christian vs Christian in Northern Ireland, a nation of 4 million, and he reckons that all muslims are the same when they total 3 billion.
The Irish can’t agree on one interpretation of Christianity but the left want to bleat that all Muslims are misunderstood because they believe the same thing about spicific subjects. Absolute bollocks.

“The action is for defamation, particularly to do with statements Robinson made in November last year through Facebook on video,” he added. “That was to do with his suggestion Jamal was involved with a gang that attacked some girls.”

The White supremacist state mate, you know the racist system that only benefits white people, it benefits them so much when 1600 white girls get groomed in one northern town the whole system tries to bury it.

Far from being a new strategy, the cult of the victim is a major part of far-right identity construction. Robinson is particularly adept at playing his role as an idealised victim –- a trope around which a range of dissatisfied individuals can coalesce with their complaints. The strategy pits the “victim” against a perpetrator – in this case, the British political establishment.

The construction of a victim identity is evident in the highly stylised online material that has been circulating on Facebook and Twitter since Robinson’s imprisonment. A cover of the song “Hallelujah”, produced with alternative words including “paedophiles are celebrated, Tommy Robinson is incarcerated”, attacked the government and called for Robinson’s release. The binary here is simplistically clear – either you are a Robinson supporter or you are a paedophile supporter.
Ultimately, what lies behind the narratives of Robinson’s victimhood is pretty standard Islamophobia. As the “Free Tommy Robinson” petition that has so far been signed by over 600,000 people tells us, “Tommy Robinson has been arrested and jailed for reporting on Muslim grooming gangs … informing the public of all the wrongs committed in the name of Allah”.Been here before
Supporters have campaigned against Robinson’s imprisonment before. In 2012, when he was jailed for travelling to the US on a false passport, far-right supporters demonstrated outside Wandsworth prison wearing Tommy Robinson face masks and hailing him a “political prisoner”. Back then, the narrative of Robinson as victim didn’t secure much traction. It has found greater success in 2018 because Robinson’s victimhood is contrasted with the predatory paedophilia of what the far right terms “Muslim grooming gangs”. The fact that the alleged real “victims” in the Leeds case may have been forced to go through a retrial as a direct result of Robinson’s actions is a point that is apparently lost on him and his supporters.
Robinson and his fellow far-right supporters are aware that a sense of victimhood is a powerful tool for attracting support and encouraging collective action. In his biography, Enemy of the State, Robinson actually acknowledged the importance of being seen as the “victim”. He enjoyed being in the minority during television debates because he knew that “the whole place was going to gang up on me and that I would come off as the victim … it was exactly as I wanted it to go”.
So Robinson’s deliberate and sustained breach of court orders needs to be called out for exactly what they are –- a calculated strategy rather than heroic self-sacrifice. Robinson and his allies in the far right have got exactly what they want – a martyr who will bring people together within an antagonistic discourse in which Robinson’s suffering is contrasted against the alleged crimes of Muslims and the perceived politically correct totalitarianism of the British state.
